Lehigh offers Faculty, Staff and Students a large number of file storage options (enough to be confusing). The documents linked below give details about all of the options.
Computer File Storage Options:

Cloud services are best leveraged by the installation of a client program on your local computer for automatically syncing data with the online storage system. | Lehigh LAN (Network) Storage Options LTS-recommended storage areas for Lehigh work

Data Governance:
Again, be aware that all data storage (computer file storage) at Lehigh is governed by:
- the Data Classification Policy,
- the Records Retention Policy, and the
- Cloud Computing Policy
in order to protect the privacy of all Lehigh users. Many systems are not backed up by default, and additional configuration and / or service provision may be needed to keep information protected. General guidelines on this topic are presented at LTS Seminars, and the slides for this one are available.
